A Woman Admits To Using Medicinal Cannabis
It was
barely last year when the state of Connecticut joined the other states and
Washington, who have already legalized medicinal cannabis, yet the laws in
Connecticut still need to be modified, as they are leaving patients in a hard
spot, since there are still no dispensaries or places to buy the herb legally.
People in
Connecticut are not even allowed to grow their own, so this leaves really no
place for the people who really need cannabis to get the herb, but the black
market. This also means that patients are at risk of being arrested and this is
certainly not a way for them to be treated.
It was on
CBS News, where Tracey Gamer Fanning, who is a 42 year old
mother, admitted to using medicinal cannabis to treat her cancer illnesses,
even though this could put her at risk of being arrested.
A Connecticut Medicinal Cannabis Story
According
to CBS News, it was in 2006, when Tracey would be diagnosed with terminal brain
cancer. She would then start experiencing
some severe headaches, seizures and would have to take pain pills, which would
mostly put her in bed and not allow her to get on with her life.
It was when
Tracey found marijuana that her life started to change in a positive way. Her exact
words about it were, “The first time I ever did I; it gave me my life back.”
Her doctor, Andrew Salner, was the one to recommend marijuana to her and she
was still skeptical about the idea, as the herb was still not legal in the
state for medicinal purposes.
Today, both
Tracey and her doctor are spreading the word to others, about the benefits of
marijuana and why the current laws in Connecticut need to be modified, as there
is no place to legally buy the herb and this is something that no medical
patient should need to go through.
“I would
not be this and this is what everybody hopes to have six and a half years
later, after being diagnosed,” stated Tracey.
It will be today, when Tracey will appear in a public hearing, to
promote the legalization of medicinal cannabis for people who really need it,
as real changes need to happen in Connecticut and the world today. Tracey even
postponed her honeymoon to appear in this public hearing, as she got married
this weekend and this only proves her conviction to really make a difference.
We Need To Help People Like Tracey To Get Their Medicinal Cannabis
It is time
to stop being childish and simply admit that cannabis is nothing more than a
plant, which can really help people with cancer and other diseases. Tracey is
only one of the millions of people who have benefited from this plant and who
would have surely had a very different life, if they had not found cannabis on
time.
Nobody should have the power to be
able to deny someone the right to have a better life and to feel better after
being diagnosed with a terminal disease. The prohibition of cannabis has not
worked and it is time for both recreational and medicinal cannabis to be legal
around the world.
